Can only cache static assets?

Hello @nilacc,

Thanks for your interest in Super Progressive Web Apps. My name is Arun.

To give you a direct answer, while this is possible, its unlikely that we will be adding this as a feature.

If you want to cache only the static assets, why not simply rely on browser caching instead? Most modern browsers do this already.

Being available offline is a major feature of PWA’s and the HTML being available offline is important for this.

Why do you specifically need this feature?

Best regards.

Your Super Progressive Web Apps is the best WordPress PWA plugin. Is it a priority to provide cache? Does it seem to provide caching only after disconnecting the network? Full-page caching on mobile browsers will make https gray instead of green, so I want to cache only the static assets

Thanks for the kind words! Means much to us ??

Is it a priority to provide cache?

Yes, it is required for the PWA to work. Otherwise your website will not be a PWA.

Does it seem to provide caching only after disconnecting the network?

You are correct. The content from the cache is served only when the network is unavailable.

Full-page caching on mobile browsers will make https gray instead of green, so I want to cache only the static assets

Which browser is this? I checked it on Chrome for Android (63.0) and it was green with network online and offline.

Looking forward to your feedback.

My Mobile browser is Chrome for Android (65.0).
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/mcw-pwa/ is only cache static assets,Is this faster when the network online?
I think you will do better. You are selfless and great.

As I mentioned before, caching all content is required for pages to be available offline. Otherwise users will not be able to browse the website offline which is the whole point of a PWA.

It looks like MCW PWA is focused on performance with PWA as one of the features. Our focus on SuperPWA is purely about Progressive Web Apps and give users the best PWA experience.

While we have plans to bring in a lot of fancy features in the future, current focus is to perfect the basic PWA part and make it work as quickly as easily for everyone.

Thanks for all your feedback btw. I hope you enjoy the journey with us going forward ??

I see, thank you for your warm answer.

You are welcome. Thanks for all the kind words again. Means a lot ??
